One reading of the book and it is easy to see why Ananthanarayanan Venkateswaran\u2019s heartfelt expressions have earned him accolades from all over the world .<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana;\">\u00a0<br \/>\nExpressions are a verbal and visual journey into life. Through poems that transcend the words that describe them, they become an embodiment of the poet\u2019s pains and desires. Ananthanarayanan Venkateswaran has been writing since he was in school and every word he chooses for his poems are well-chosen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana;\">\u00a0<br \/>\nIn person, his simple manner fails to belie his powerful intelligence and deep sensitivity that has given birth to this coffee table book. He admits proudly that he has designed the book cover as well, which is, &#8220;a reflection of the soul where the pink strains stand for the good, the brown for the evil and the green for hope.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana;\">\u00a0<br \/>\nAccording to him, the best poem in the book is \u2019Lost but yet, guiding through\u2019 which he explains is about, &#8220;People looking for a mentor in their daily life when all they seek is right within themselves&#8221;. Other notable gems include \u2018Outcast\u2019 which is about the agony of feeling alone; \u2018Washed away\u2019 is about the search for peace and \u2018Living by my duty\u2019 is about life\u2019s lessons.\u201d The book is based on symbolism. A remarkable example of symbolism in the book is the image titled \u2018Where am I?\u2019 that portrays Ananth\u2019s \u2018feelings of juggling between more than one world\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana;\">\u00a0<br \/>\nThe response to \u2018Expressions\u2019 has been growing slowly but steadily. Personal thoughts and ideas are beautifully intertwined with modern spirituality, in the poems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana;\">Ananth\u2019s spiritual side is attributed to his father\u2019s teachings and his own commitment to social causes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana;\">When Ananth is not working on literary masterpieces, he is working at Techdivine studios where he creates 3D animations, gaming concepts, clay models, sculptures, abstract art, relief works, human sketches designs for various companies, magazines and brochures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana;\">He has also dabbled successfully in advertising and advanced animation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana;\">As he puts it, &#8220;For me the learning curve will never end.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana;\">Everything about Ananth speaks of his drive and individuality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana;\">\u2018Expressions\u2019 is his first published book but he emphatically states, &#8220;This is only the start.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana;\">\u00a0<br \/>\nBy Ankita Shreeram &#8211; Times Of India &#8211; Mulund Powai Plus &#8211; 21\/4\/07<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana;\">\u00a0<br \/>\nEXPRESSIONS<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana;\">\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 My Book &#8221; Expressions &#8221; is now available for sale.&#8221; This book puts forth through poetry and symbolic illustrations the various emotions that each and every one of YOU can relate to at some level during your journey through the school of LIFE &#8221;\u00a0<br \/>\nThis Poetry book &#8220;Expressions&#8221; uniquely expressed with Art and symbolisms from Techdivine Studios by Ananthanarayanan V, would take you through simple cravings of human desire, through depths of emotions and through passion for creations of power and beauty wherein you would realize how fast and how soon does one&#8217;s mind, when you let it take control, devours of your time and life and takes you through the rollercoaster called LIVING!
